HINTS AND TIPS

Respect the care labels of your laundry; make sure that it is appropriate for being treated in a dryer.

CARE LABELS

The dots indicate the temperature degree for drying the laundry.

Normal temperature

Reduced temperature

Do not tumble dry

EMPTYALLPOCKETS

Objects like coins or keys can damage your laundry as well as the drum.

ADAPTING THE DRYER TO WATER CONDUCTIVITY

The drying results are affected by the conductivity of the water used during washing. If, by modifying the available dryness levels (iron dry; cupboard dry; extra dry), you are not satisfied with the final drying results, you can adapt the water conductivity level. The dryer comes with preset level 2. Choose between level 1 (most damp results) and 5 (most dry results).

Press and hold the Programme button until the Conductivity Adjustment symbol on the display blinks.

Turn the knob to adjust the level (1 -2 -3 -4 -5). Press the knob to confirm the selected level.

This operation is not needed for every drying cycle. Once the most satisfying water conductivity level has been identified, you no longer need to modify it.

SAVING TIPS

Always dry a full load; this optimizes the relative energy consumption. The maximum load sizes for the various programmes are indicated in the programme chart.

To reduce the drying time, make sure that the laundry is spun with the maximum possible spin speed of the wash programme. This reduces the moisture content in the laundry.

CONSUMPTION DATA

Data can differ in your home, mainly depending on the moisture content of the laundry load.

Programme	Load (Kg)	Spin Speed (rpm)	Humidity (%)	Energy consumption (kWh)	Drying Time (min)
ECO COTTON *	7	1000	60	1.73	164
	3.5	1000	60	0.98	95
ECO COTTON	7	800	70	2.04	157
	7	1400	50	1.48	116
COTTON IRON DRY	7	800	70	1.73	134
	7	1000	60	1.55	113
	7	1400	50	1.37	98
SYNTHETICS CUPBOARD DRY	3.5	1000	40	0.94	71

*Reference programmes for Energy Label / Regulation 392/2012 / EU Values are based on the default programme setting, with clean door and bottom filter. For consumer tests, the door filter and bottom filter need to be cleaned after each cycle.

The energy consumption and drying time may differ from the values above. They depend on the operation conditions in your home (such as voltage fluctuation, mixture of textiles, humidity of the textiles after spinning, load volume).

The values are determined according to European Norm 61121 and refer to the default programme setting; changing the setting also impacts the consumption data.

Heat Pump System

This dryer is fitted with a sealed heat pump system to dry your clothes. To operate, the heat pump contains fluorinated greenhouse gases (Fgases) which are covered by the Kyoto Protocol. These F gases are contained in a hermetically sealed unit. This sealed unit contains 0.37kg of the F gas R134a which acts as a refrigerant. GWP = 1430 (1 t CO2).

Power Consumption - Watts
Left-on mode	1.07
Off-mode	0.40
